Challenge #99- Thank You with Something New

Happy New Year everyone! For our first challenge of 2016, Kim  is challenging us to make a thank you card using something new.

First, please welcome our wonderful Guest Designer:

Maaike 

Hi.

I’m Maaike (my-kuh) and I am 46yrs old.

Since five years , when I was made redundant, I’ve picked up crafting more and more, I’ve always crafted, remember cards wit teabags? And as a photographer photos featured heavily on my cards until I got into stamping and coloring.

Somewhere in the 80’s I went to art school and I still have some of those supplies, believe it or not.

Beginning 2015 I discovered the World of blog challenges, and I love joining each and every one of them! There’s millions I suppose, but I like the ones I take part in and find it plenty.

I’ve made numerous new (cyber) friends, and although we’ve never met I enjoy visiting their blogs and when they call at mine.

I also have an allotment garden I spend a lot of time, with my cats if they want to come.

I’m a  volunteer for a creative group at the local community centre and I cook for 8 single/older  
people every week so they come together at my house for a spot of eating and socialising.

I’m single, over 40 and have two cats…make of it what you will ;-)

Here's what the DT have made:
